Henry George on Woman Sui.
 frage.

Henry George, III recent num- Der of his paper, the Standard,
 says, in reply 10 a man who oblec- ted to the womaI's rights plank in the platform of the United La bor party:
 The natural right of woman to vote is just as clear as that oi a man. and rests on the same pround. Since she is called to obey the laws. she ought to have i, voice in making them; and the assumption that shc Is uoi flt to vote. iS i,n better reason for deny inc her that right than was the similar assumption which has been urged against every extension oi the franchised men. And whether men like or do not like the impu' tation that they are incapable of framing proper laws without the aid of women, their success In i making laws has certainly not been so great as to give them a reason for disdnining women's ald. In fact the botch that men have made of the business of making l laws ought, 1t seems to us, to lead 1 them to ask them whether the in CT and quicker institutions and more delicate sensibilities of wo- men are hot as much needed Ill 1 the management of public affairs as they are in the affairs of the i family. Not only women superior l to men in what OuI correspondent considers woman's sphere, but they often bring 10 affairs regard ed as peculiarly belonging to men an insight and judgment winch 1 renders them most valuable coun-
 se1lors of men. The man who scorns the advice of women is anything but a wise man. And
 seeing that mankind Is composed of men and women, and that the
 two sexes are the natural compli'
 mentg of each other, is not the 1 leaving ot what concerns both en-
 tirely to one sex, very much hke
 the attempt of an individual to use only one leg in walking.

The Power of Love.

Can you tell me who Jesus Christ was! There is something about him which l cannot under stand. Alexander, Cesar, Charle- maguc, and nils,li, iaNc iounded great empires. But on what did these creations of our genius rest. Upon force. But Jesus founded his upon love; and this very day millions would die for him. l have inspired multItudcs with such all enthusiastic devotion, that they would have died for me; but to do this. it was necessary that l should be present with the electric intlu- ence of my looks, my words, and my voice. When saw men, and spoke 10 them, l lighted up the flame of devotion in their hearts. But Jesus, by some miSterious in tluence, reacling down, even through the lapse of eighteen hun, dred years, so draws the hearts of men that thousands, at a word, would rush through fire and blood for him, counting not their lives dear unto them. Bonaparte, at St. Helena,

NO ARMS.
A Lawyer who Has No Arms yet
 He is Not Helpless.

For several days James Gun bingham, Esq, of Pine Bluff has been in the city OH legal business. He is a courteous, affable gentle n,au, enjoying the warm personal friendship of a very wide circle. As lawyer he stands high among ] his legal brethren and his practice i in the supreme court Is quite lu- cyative and extensive All this might be said of many lawyer lh Arkansas, but it will be more ap- preclated in this instance when ike reader is told that Mr. Gun ninyilam was born without arms, and consequently knows not the usefulness of the upper extremi. ties.
 He writes a good legible ''hand' holding the pen either in his mouth or between his toes, and in the court room can dive down among the pages of a digest and look up sections of law as readily as the man blessed with two hands. How does he do it9 Why with his head and tongue.
  1 He makes his own toilet as neatly as any gentleman, only he cannot button his collar-the oth- CT buttons he manipulates with his teeth.
 If he goes into d saloon for a modicum of that which most great men sometimes imbibe to compen- sate for the wear and tare of active life, he just picks up the glass with his teeth and dr,Iks off the contents.
 And you ought to see him play poker" said Col Met l.. Jones.
 "Can he really play poker"' asked the reporter.
 Well, l reckon he can-you ought to see you'd pay to see himw

The Pretty Girls of Dublin.

A writer says: Ireland Is noted for it's beautiful women, and the girls of Dublin are the prettlest ot those of any city in the world. They have, as a rule, fair, rosy complexions and good forms, and they know how to dress the latter 1 attended regatta at Dalkney, the great yatching place near Dub- lin, and saw several thousand of the better class of girls of Ireland. The poorer classes were shut out by the higher prices Of the epclos- nre allotted to us, and the crowd was kid gloved one. The girls seemed 10 be remarkably healthy and in high spirits, and they showed. as 1 could judge from the witty remarks heard en passant, all the love of hunor for winch old Ireland ip famous. The lrish brogue coming out of the pearly teeth of the rosy-cheeked bright eyed Irish girls sounds very sweet indeed. and were l a millionaire American with one or two Amerl- can girl babies would bring them to Ireland to raise them for the sake of their comp.eIlons. The beauties are not, however confined to the upper classes. l saw pretty girls everywhere, and many sweet face there is among the white. capped servant girls Of the hotels, and even among the workers in the fields, or in the cotter's huts. The men, too, ap- pear 10 be healthy, as rule, and' poor as they are. in better physIc-
 al condition than the Americans.

Bill Yves Boyhood.

"If l were boy again, endowed with the same wild passion ol plucking watermelons in the dark, of the moon,n writes Bill Nye in the Boston Globe, l would no doubt fall victim to that ever mastering passion as l did then, but looking at it as do now l would be wiser.
 Boys, cannot, however, have tina mature judgement of manhood without the experience and rheu- matism that go with it. So 1t Is better that in our childhood we may be able to eat a raw turnip in safety, and know something la ter on in lie.
 I notice d great change in my self while comparing my present condition to that of joyous boy hood. Then had no sense, but l had good digestion. Now l haven't even the digestion.
 The hurrying years have cavOr- ted over my sunny head until they have worn it smooth, but they leit a good deal yet for me to learn. l am still engaged in learning du- ring the day and putting arnica on my experience at night
 Childhood is said to he the most gladso period in our lives, and in some respects. this statement may be regarded as reliable, but it is not all joy. l have had just as much fun in late years as | did In buyhood, though the people with whom l have been thrown m con tact claim that their experience has been different. l hope they do not mean anything personal hy that.
 ! | do sometimes wish that l could be a boy again, but smother that wish on account oi my parents. What they need most is rest and change of scene. They will enjoy childreu. but they would like a chance to select the children with whom they associate.
 My parents were blest with five bright eyed and beautiful little boys, three of which grew up, and by that means became adults. l am in that condition myself. l was the eldest of the family with tle exception of my parents. l am still that way. My early life was rather ,empestuons in places occasionally ilecked with sunshine bat more frequently with retribn. tion. l was not q very good road ster when yonng, and SD retribu. tioh was most always just in the act of Overtaking me. While ont. ragged justice was getting its work on me, the other boys escaped through small aperture in tie | fence.

A Cbioook WIND

A Bostonian, who has Just returned
from flying trip to Portland, Ore, re-
Iates how he left Chicago with the mer
curry at zero, and went on to find it con-
stantIy sinking, until with two locomO-
tives it was difficult to get up steam
enough to drag the train; and with roar
ing fire in the cars it was still necessary
10 keep muffled in furs to be anything
nearly comfortable. He says that in
crossing snowy plains through Dakota
when everybody was bundled up to the
yes a man accustomed to the country
suddenly threw back hissheavy ulster col
lar, exclaiming:
''There, we've struck a Chinook wind
Now we are all right. I'm going out on
the platform. y
Those not accustomed to the idiosyn-
crasies of the American climate in that
especial locality regarded the man as be-
side himself, but when the platform was
visited by the more daring ones it was
discovered that the temperature was that
of a mild spring day. The snow every
where was visibly melting with much
rapidity and the mysterious wind seemed
to have blown in a new season. The name
of this warm breeze is the same as that of
q tribe of Indians of British Columbia,
who perhaps manufacture it, and it is said
to be so warm that it destroys three or
four feet of snow in a single night. The
gentleman who relates this thermic voy-
age closes by relating how when he ar
rived at Portland pansies were blooming
in the garden beds, and mildness had pos
session of the land; an ending which is
especially effective in these frozen days
